LIFX Z LED Strip Thumbtack Mount Clip

prusaprinters

<p>This mounting clip is designed for routing the LIFX Z LED Light Strip, but could ostensibly fit other LED strips with a width of ~12mm.</p> <p>The clip has a cutout to receive a thumbtack with a ~10mm diameter head, and the wings on either side help the installer to apply force when penetrating the mount surface. Where additional insertion force is necessary, the thumbtack's head has been left exposed via a circular window, such that a screwdriver or other implement can be used to apply pressure.</p> <p>My use case was for mounting to the bottom of a television entertainment center. During installation, I found that the faux-wood finish on the furniture made it difficult for the thumbtack alone to penetrate. To aid installation, I prepared the mount point using a dental pick to bore a pilot hole before installing the tack.</p> <ul> <li>Advise printing with PLA or ABS at low infill – 20% used for my installation.</li> <li>Advise printing with thumbtack insertion slot facing upward to reduce support structures and ease thumbtack fitting.</li> </ul> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Dremel Digilab</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>3D45</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> ESUN PLA+ Black How I Designed This ===================</p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://.s3.amazonaws.com/?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ4LU5KWCMM7WB7YA&amp;Expires=1632312853&amp;Signature=JuKgZiqb5Pa7wGLDthGG%2B%2BV2Rzc%3D"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://.s3.amazonaws.com/?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ4LU5KWCMM7WB7YA&amp;Expires=1632312854&amp;Signature=3RbezCiSZA2Jk4q8nJ8dL4Ap8dE%3D"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://.s3.amazonaws.com/?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ4LU5KWCMM7WB7YA&amp;Expires=1632312854&amp;Signature=3RbezCiSZA2Jk4q8nJ8dL4Ap8dE%3D"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://.s3.amazonaws.com/?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ4LU5KWCMM7WB7YA&amp;Expires=1632312855&amp;Signature=llkv9vUgDf9SACVxP6fXdlBgKKg%3D"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://.s3.amazonaws.com/?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ4LU5KWCMM7WB7YA&amp;Expires=1632312855&amp;Signature=llkv9vUgDf9SACVxP6fXdlBgKKg%3D"/></p> </p></p></p> Category: Electronics
